Byleth & Leonie S

Leonie
Professor? What are you doing here?

Leonie
I was talking to Jeralt.

Leonie
The sky feels so close...like you can almost touch the stars. I thought my voice might reach him.

Leonie
That the war's finally over.

Leonie
And that his kid and his greatest apprentice did an amazing job out there!

Leonie
Haha, maybe I'm overselling the part I played.

Leonie
Thanks, but I was nothing compared to you. I feel like an idiot for ever thinking I could surpass you.

Leonie
I have managed to keep my promise though.

Leonie
So, how would you feel about hiring me again?

Leonie
Can't exactly go and break my word now, can I?

Leonie
The war's over, but the enemy might still be lurking! What if they're waiting until I'm gone to attack you?!

Leonie
But— Oh, I get it. You're probably pretty tired of me always trailing after you, huh?

Leonie
Love?! As in... As in the way a commander loves his soldiers, right? Of course that's what you mean...

Leonie
Oh, that's...that kind of love! Can this really be happening? You want to marry me?

Leonie
...

Leonie
I... Of course I will! You are being serious, right? That would be an awful joke...

Leonie
I'm sorry. I should have been more honest.

Leonie
All that stuff about my promise a minute ago, it was mostly just an excuse for wanting to be near you.

Leonie
But I'm not really the romantic type, so I had a hard time coming out and saying it.

Leonie
Are you sure this is what you want though? I know I'm not exactly conventional.

Leonie
Guess I'm really wearing this ring, then, aren't I?

Leonie
But I do still have a promise to keep with Captain Jeralt too.

Leonie
You've got a big job ahead of you, building a whole new Fódlan.

Leonie
I'm going to support you through all of that. Make sure it never gets to be too much.

Leonie
Then that's that! I promise to protect you until death parts us! And...I'll be happy for you to do the same for me.
